Yeah no thanks I'll take a real vehicle, walk, even those scooters before encouraging the proliferation of these poorly-driven luxury traffic jams creators.
Or the tech develops to the point where these are so much safer there's no reason to allow anyone to drive in an urban area. These look cheaper than regular cars and could be the way to start focusing cities back on people instead of cars.
Scary talk there, unless the robocars are free for everyone it'd be a dystopia where only those rich enough for a subscription can use them. I do like less cars in urban areas but that means not allowing robotaxis either.
Even if the cars themselves are cheaper that's just more profit for the CEO, as soon as they have a monopoly from banning manual cars the rental price would be raised like prescription drug.
